Dark Spires

I’ve another announcement to make! I’ve had a story accepted into Dark Spires, Colin Harvey‘s next anthology. Entitled ‘Outside’, it’s an unusual foray into horror for me, where one man watches his entire world disintegrate around him.

Colin, a writer himself (check out Winter Song and Damage Time on the Angry Robot website), released Future Bristol last year, and his latest follows a similar West Country theme. Featuring genre stories set within the counties comprising Thomas Hardy’s Wessex, Dark Spires promises a mix of horror chills, flights of fancy and SF speculation.

“[We’ve] as diverse a list [of stories] as we could put together,” Colin says. “Sea wolves in 19th century Lyme Regis, invading alien angels on the North Somerset coast, a quasi-immortal in current-day Exeter; we have Camelot and Alfred the Great, but also Hardy World and the return of Herbert George Wells. And of course hagfish…” (That’d be from my story).

“Copies can be pre-ordered very soon at a discount from the online shop at Wizard’s Tower Press, who will be launching the book at Bristolcon on November 6th — where attendees can buy copies, also at a discount! Both electronic and any remaining paperback copies will be available after the con for ordering from the shop.”
